Anthropology: Concentration in Action Anthropology [ANT_ACT]

 Return to: Academic Programs
The Action Anthropology concentration is designed to prepare students for careers in a wide range of fields. Our anthropological education provides advantages and insights into culturally informed ways to address community problems. As opposed to approaching social problems from the outside with ready-made solutions, an action anthropology approach requires first-hand study and involvement in communities to work with people, so that together problems can be diagnosed, analyzed and addressed through a plan of action. Our faculty are committed to helping students develop internship and job opportunities. For more information about this program, contact the Sociology/Anthropology Department.
Student Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this program, students will be able to:
- Demonstrate an understanding of the foundational material in the sub-disciplines of Anthropology, including action anthropology, archaeology, biological anthropology, linguistic anthropology, and sociocultural anthropology.

- Compare the major theoretical frameworks within anthropology using an historical perspective.
- Develop a research question and/or hypothesis relevant to anthropological research.
